Centralia 30-164
The Centralia's impressive size bespeaks stateliness and permanence, as do its corner quoins, keystone arches, brick facade, and multiple gables. Half-round windows and a copper-roofed dining room bay add grace.
No doubt about it, this is a large home. It boasts more than 3,500 square feet of living area, plus a huge bonus room and a three-car garage.
Stepping inside, you pass under a plant shelf into the two-story entry. Plants glory in natural light spilling down through the arched window over the door.
Ahead, another plant shelf caps an arched opening that leads into a dramatic vaulted great room. Glass fills more than half of the rear wall, while a fireplace nestles between cabinetry that could house a home entertainment center or be filled with books and art. A wide arch, flanked by columns, leads into the kitchen's bright eating nook.
Spacious and lavishly appointed, the kitchen easily accommodates multiple chefs. Notable features include: a bay window, roomy pantry and rambling work island.
From there, one passageway leads to an elegant dining room with a tray ceiling and wide bay window. Another leads to a large utility room equipped with a pull-down ironing board, deep sink, long folding counter, and a closet for hanging clothes.
Large and luxurious, the master suite is the only bedroom on the main floor. The unique walk-in closet wraps around two sides of an octagonal bathroom with a spa tub, oversized shower, private toilet, and dual vanity bay.
Upstairs, a huge loft or study overlooks the Centralia's vaulted great room, and each bedroom has its own bathroom. That huge sky-lit bonus room is ripe with possible uses.
